Me and my partner are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Shrewsbury but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Leeds Building Society will not permit this. Should they have been approached?

Any conveyancer that is on a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Leeds Building Society of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the price change to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Shrewsbury.

I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Shrewsbury. The Shrewsbury property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
